What is the baby\’s oral period? The famous psychoanalyst Freud believed that at the age of 0-1 (sometimes up to 1.5 years old), the \”pleasure\” of babies is mainly concentrated in the mouth, lips and tongue, and the main way to obtain the satisfaction of various desires is through the mouth. (i.e. behaviors such as sucking, eating, drinking, and finger-eating). This stage is called the \”oral stage.\” B-ultrasound shows that the fetus will also suck its own fingers in the womb, and the \”oral period\” begins before the child is born. Therefore, the oral cavity is a tool for babies under 1 year old to explore the world. It is the most natural channel for them to connect themselves and the world around them. They first understand themselves and then the world through the oral cavity. As the baby grows, his interest will gradually shift after about 1 or 1.5 years old, and the behavior of \”eating\” as soon as he gets it will correct itself.
